How does the problem in the compiler affect users in production?

It doesn't.
It effects our future .net-developpers.
Not everyone has top of the line PC's and will not have them for at least another year (budgetcuts)

Is this a "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" thing, or have you evaluated VS 2003? 

VS 2003 is not an option.
since they are using the same faulty MSHTML control.

If I can't solve most of the problems I will advise to port my testproject to VS2005 and do the same kind of testing there.
I whould hate it if everybody sees this as borland-bashing, because it isn't.
I would love to promote the use of D2005 as our next main platform (as a replacement for the D6).
It has some good features and is a big improvement over D8.

But if I advise to use D2005 as it exists at this time, I'll be out of a job in no time.
The guys who worked with D8 are very critical and wil expect to see most of there problems solved.
If I give them new problems, I'll have to wear a combat-suit. ;)
